One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Do you think we haven't tried?"

Vegapunk seemed to have been prepared for Rorschach's question and quickly explained.

"Editing and cloning lineage factors requires more than just a sufficiently powerful clone. It also requires considering the fusion and compatibility between the various lineage factors. It's not that the stronger the lineage factors of the clone, the better. If they can't fuse, then no matter how strong they are, it's useless."

"Then why not just clone them directly? Like creating an army of pacifists. I think if we could clone tens of thousands of Charlotte Linlins, or even just clone tens of thousands or more of us, we wouldn't need to spend so much effort on bloodline factor fusion experiments, right?"

Rorschach had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Since they have the technology to create pacifists, why not just clone a whole army of Charlotte Linlin clones?

Charlotte Lingling's body had long been sent to Egg Point Island for research.

With her innate talent for being a steel balloon, if a batch of her could be cloned, there would be no need for any additional modifications. Her physical toughness would probably be even tougher than that of the current pacifists.

Vegapunk said, "We can indeed create clones of Charlotte Linlin, but her lineage factor is a product of mutation, and even if a cloned sample is created, it will carry the serious disease of gluttony."

"Completely cloning a person is not as simple as just obtaining blood; it requires extensive research. It also involves overcoming ethical and moral constraints, and most importantly..."

Vegapunk gave Rorschach a deep look and said in a low voice:

"The world government will not allow it."

Vegapunk's final words left Rorschach speechless.

He realized that his ideas were indeed too naive.

Balance is always the best way for those in power to control the world.

Regardless of whether the Navy is under the World Government's control or not, the Five Elders would never allow the Navy to expand and grow stronger without limit.

Even if they had the technology, they would never produce too many weapons of war that could threaten their rule.

Because permissions can change at any time depending on the strength of the technical means.

Not to mention that Vegapunk was a peerless scientist who was said to be 500 years ahead of the world.

The Five Elders were always wary of him.

"When will the Seraphim be mass-produced?" Putting those chaotic thoughts aside, Luo Xia asked the question that concerned him most.

To be honest, he was just waiting for the mass production of Seraphs to come out so he could wipe out the pirates in the New World in one fell swoop.

However, Vegapunk sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Rorschach. Seraphim are unique and cannot be mass-produced. Editing bloodline factors is an extremely difficult task, and the experimental materials obtained from the Seven Warlords of the Sea have also been exhausted."

"Can't be mass-produced?" Rorschach was stunned.

What's the use of seraphim if they can't be mass-produced?

He admitted that the seven seraphim were indeed quite powerful.

Kizaru's laser, King's Lunaria talent, the copied Devil Fruit abilities, and the instilled combat skills made their overall strength surpass that of an ordinary Marine Vice Admiral and approach that of the original Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Perhaps in a few years, they will become even stronger, stronger than the cloned Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But what's the point?

Are you expecting them to fight Shanks and Kaido?

If you actually go, you'll only get a quick dodge or a thunderous Bagua attack.

Unless you can rapidly build up an army and have a sufficient number of pacifists.

If there were dozens or even hundreds of Seraphim together, even Kaido would be exhausted to death.

Moreover, Seraph has a fatal flaw, which even if Rorschach doesn't say it, Vegapunk and the others probably already know.

That is, their minds are actually not mature at all.

Seraphim are not normal people who grow up normally; they are weapons of war, clones, and experimental subjects.

Everything in my brain is implanted through technological means.

Aside from the instincts ingrained in their bloodline, they only obey orders.

Such a person will never become a top-tier powerhouse.

To put it nicely, they have no sense of self.

To put it bluntly, he's brainless, just as bad as Webull.

Seeing Rorschach's disappointed expression, Vegapunk's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled.

“Rorschach, do you know? There is actually an eighth Seraphim we created.”

Chapter 769 Senior Luo Xia

The day after leaving Egg Point Island, Rorschach went to the Marine Headquarters.

It's not Marineford, it's G1.

Kizaru, who was on vacation on Egg Point Island, was also dragged along by him, appearing quite unwilling.

Rorschach came to G1 to meet with Aramaki, who was stationed there, to go to the Holy Land and talk to Akainu and the Five Elders about abolishing the Shichibukai system.

Rorschach knew that Akainu would definitely agree to this proposal.

If they were put together, Akainu might still harbor the idea of ​​using the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to restrain the Four Emperors of the New World.

However, due to Rorschach's interference with this world, the once fully-fledged Seven Warlords of the Sea have been reduced to a mere shell of their former selves.

Currently, the only remaining Shichibukai are Hawkeye, Boa Hancock, the Golden Emperor, and Moria, the loser.

The three vacant positions have yet to be filled.

When Zoro was broadcast live on G1 last time, he showed off his considerable strength to the world as the leader of the Bounty Hunter Guild. Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru suggested that he be invited to become a new Shichibukai.

Including some powerful criminals who later escaped from Infinite Hell, the Navy also tried to keep them in check by extending invitations to become Shichibukai.

For example, Bondiwald, Barrett, and the Red Earl.

However, they did not receive a positive response from Akainu, and in the end, nothing came of it.

From that moment on, Rorschach knew that Akainu had changed his mind and was preparing to formally target the Shichibukai system and the Shichibukai who were still roaming freely on the seas once the Seraphim on Egg Point Island completed its research.

Once these wavering Shichibukai are eliminated, it will be time for the Navy to officially begin preparing to eliminate the Four Emperors of the New World.

Of all the top decision-makers at Marine Headquarters, Akainu had no objections, Rorschach agreed, Kizaru was indifferent, and Black Horse listened to Akainu. It could be said that the Marines had reached a consensus on this matter; all that remained was to obtain the Five Elders' approval.

What? You mean there's another one called Wilderness Shepherd?

Forget it. Ever since the battle on Soft Island, Aramaki's prestige at Marine Headquarters has plummeted to rock bottom, making him nothing more than a foil to Rorschach.

As a naval admiral, aside from leading troops in battle, he had virtually no say in naval decision-making, wasting the Five Elders' arrangements for him.

Just like now, as a dignified admiral of the Navy Headquarters, his face was full of fawning smiles, looking like a complete lackey, standing beside Rorschach with his head bowed and scraping, holding a bottle of fine wine in his hand, while reaching out to conjure a large green leaf to shield Rorschach from the scorching sun above his head.

"Brother Lanlin, would you like a drink? This is a fine wine I brought from the Holy Land, the Half-Man Cow Wine. Just one bottle is worth five million Berries. Even the great world's nobles would love this wine."

"Not interested."

"Okay. And... what about the juice?"

"No."

"Would you like to have lunch? How about I have that fat guy in the main cafeteria prepare lunch right away? I heard that you love eating sea monsters, Brother Lan Lin. I even went to Fishman Island yesterday to buy the freshest and most delicious sea monsters. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Rebecca, Leo, Mansherry, and the others, who were undergoing grueling training under the scorching sun in the square in front of Luo Xia, stared in disbelief at Huang Mu, who was standing next to Luo Xia and constantly fawning over him. They almost thought they were hallucinating because of the intense training.

Is this man in front of them, who looks like a complete sycophant, really the powerful, dignified, cold-blooded Green Bull general they remember, who believes in the supremacy of the strong and considers the weak as trash?

In front of Luo Xia, he showed no sign of being a strongman at all.

"General Rorschach! Requesting instructions!"

The lieutenant colonel, who was giving special training to this year's recruits, saw Luo Xia approach the recruits and quickly stepped forward to salute. His still-youthful face showed the same excitement as the recruits, and he asked loudly for instructions, his face slightly flushed.

"Coby, it's been a while, you've improved a lot, you've even become a new recruit instructor at headquarters."

Looking at the pink-haired boy standing straight in front of him, Luo Xia reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you so much for the compliment, General Luo Xia. I am still far from being as good as you!"

The boy in front of you, who is continuing the Rokushiki training for Rebecca, Leo, and the others, is Koby.

His inseparable partner, Helmeppo, was also there, but as a trainee, undergoing Koby's grueling training alongside Rebecca and other new recruits.

Koby's growth rate is indeed very fast. In just a few months, he has already acquired strength no less than that of a brigadier general of the headquarters. At the same time, he has also awakened Observation Haki. Among the new recruits of the headquarters who graduated in 1519, he is the most outstanding.

Despite his young age, he has already become a lieutenant colonel at headquarters. He recently came to G1 from Marineford to temporarily serve as a training instructor for new recruits joining the Navy during the World Military Draft, responsible for their physical fitness and Rokushiki training.

Behind Coby, Leo, Mansherry, Rebecca, and the others had obviously noticed Rorschach long ago. However, due to their excessive physical exertion and their newfound understanding of naval discipline, they did not greet Rorschach rashly. Instead, they looked at Rorschach with the same excited and awe-inspiring gaze as Coby.

At this moment, it felt as if the fatigue in my body had been greatly relieved by the arrival of my idol, Luo Xia.

Helmeppo, who was sweating profusely from weighted squats, saw Coby's face showing a silly grin after being praised and couldn't help but shout, "Coby! Watch your words! What do you mean by comparing him to Admiral Rorschach?"

Upon hearing Helmeppo's warning, Coby snapped out of his daze, his face immediately showing fear. He quickly bowed to Rorschach in apology, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and stammered, "I...I'm sorry! Admiral Rorschach! I didn't mean it, please forgive my offense!"

In the eyes of ordinary marines, an admiral is a very dignified and terrifying figure.

The naval admirals, who possess power far beyond what they could imagine, are almost like gods to many low-ranking marines.

Let alone a lieutenant colonel like Koby, even a major general or lieutenant general would have to be careful with their words and actions and show the utmost respect when facing an admiral.

This is the deterrent effect of an overwhelming disparity in power and authority.

Koby's comments might not have been given much thought by a lazy admiral like Kizaru.

However, if it were Aramaki, given his arrogant personality, Koby would probably have shown disrespect to the Admiral today and received a major demerit.

You might even get beaten up.

If it weren't for Garp, even if he were beaten to death by Ara-mura, probably no one would dare to say anything.

The hierarchical structure of this headquarters is that rigid and brutal.

Seeing Koby's panicked look, Rorschach chuckled and waved his hand, "It's okay, don't be nervous, I won't eat people."

"Yes...yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Although he knew that Rorschach's personality was different from that of the arrogant Aramu, after Helmeppo's reminder, Coby finally remembered how many glorious achievements Rorschach had made, and immediately lost his previous ease.
